Raudonasis sausas
Made in small quantities from the best available fruit grown on the estate's extensive Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in the heart of the terra rossa soil It has become a definitive Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, made only in years when grapes of extraordinarily high quality are available, using less than one percent of the top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.Plush and juicy ripe cassis flavours combine with a mocha like creaminess from French oak. Beautifully textured. A fine tannin line frames powerful fruit, providing all the hallmarks of a great John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon for the cellar. Pure, focused and refined. Beautifully balanced acidity and freshness ensure that this wine will live gracefully for 30 years .
Serve at 16-18 °C with beef steak, game dishes, stews.
Lots of lean muscle converts into flavour power: pure blackcurrant and chocolate, sage, plum and espresso, all bound in a graphite tannic grip. Coming from a drier vintage, the density of serious fruit weight equates to intensity, and the flavor clarity persists and resonates long after the last note strikes. Think of that final piano chord in The Beatles’ A Day In The Life. Captivating! Drinking Window 2020 - 2050
A smooth, seductive and deeply satisfying Cabernet Sauvignon with a creamy texture but delivering the savoury edge that makes Cabernet such a great food wine. Plenty of chocolate, menthol and eucalyptus notes that make the wine enjoyably polished without being overblown. The tannins are softened at this four year old point, nicely integrated into the black fruits and there is no question it will power through another decade or more at this level. With a history that dates back to 1896, this was the first winery to open in Coonawarra and has been in the Wynn's family since 1951. Drinking Window 2022 - 2042
This is a very impressive and regal cabernet with a rich array of ripe blackcurrants, mulberries and blackberries on offer, as well as a cedary and gently chalky edge. There’s a very rich and powerful core of deep-set fruit, as well as a thread of rich chocolate flavor and a very polished, assertive core of tannin that holds super long. Try from 2022. Screw cap.
First made in 1982, the John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon was conceived as a flagship wine for Wynns. John Riddoch himself was a true visionary. Amongst his many achievements are the building of the Wynns Gabled winery and the establishment of the Coonawarra Fruit Colony.
